University College offers special topics courses that count as upper-level electives,
and in some cases allows students to earn upper-level credit in their emphasis area.
These courses allow students to learn about material that is not typically included
in regular course offerings. Special topics courses allow students to gain insight
about specific issues and add breadth and variety to their degree program. As a result,
special topics courses may enhance students’ ability to land the job they desire after
graduation.
